Ever the hopeful optimistic, Dewey’s can-do attitude is what makes him the center of it all. A nine-year old boy who loves all
sports. As a baby, his parents noticed that he would gravitate toward toys that were specifically sports related. He would actually fuss and even cry if he received a toy that wasn’t along the lines of a basketball, football, baseball or hockey stick. Dewey’s father, also an avid sports aficionado, when Dewey was a baby gave him a magic toy chest with secret powers. When Dewey was old enough to open the toy chest his life changed forever.
The alert call sounds, out of the toy chest they come…Dewey and Team Dew110 secretly transform into
Coach Does and the Defenders of Doesville to save the day.
Too Cool Trevor Sparkz—real name Trevor, but nobody’s dared call him that since middle school—goes by “Mr. Cool” because he decided the nickname fit and the world just agreed. He’ll show up to pickup games in designer shades and limited-edition kicks, sink one lazy three-pointer from way downtown, then spend the rest of the afternoon leaning against the fence like he invented winning. Sports are a prop; the real game is making sure every phone camera is pointed at him and every girl in the stands is laughing at whatever line he just dropped. Effort is for suckers. Looking effortless is the whole hustle.
Dewey lives for the scoreboard. Trevor lives for the highlight reel that makes it seem like the scoreboard was never in doubt.
But late at night, when the group chat dies and the shades come off, Trevor scrolls through clips of Dewey diving for loose balls, screaming after every bucket, sweat ruining a perfectly good haircut—and something tightens in his chest. He’d rather get benched for a month than say it out loud, but sometimes he wonders what it feels like to care that much. To burn for something instead of just looking like you do. Deep down, in a place he keeps locked tighter than his sneaker collection, Trevor Sparkz wishes—just for a second—he could be the one possessed by the game instead of the one pretending he owns it.
Deep down, he admires Dewey’s passion for sports.
